Finished Cork Wreath

So, it’s been a while since I’ve visited Guin’s Yard. Oops. I’ve been a little busy this spring and summer:

In June I visited here:

and since February, I’ve been training to do one of these:

with some of this

<– in the middle.

My first tri was successfully finished a week ago today, although now I’ve done all this training, I’m planning to do 4-5 more races this summer, a mix of tri’s, open water swims, and road races.

All in all, I haven’t had much time for house projects. Nonetheless, I did (finally) get around to finishing the cork wreath… Ta da!

I’m pretty pleased with how it came out, although I didn’t anticipate that it would be so close to the color of the brick.

From any distance at all, it really kind of blends in with the brick facade of the house. I bought some teal ribbon, and am considering a bow for it, just to see if that would help it stand out at all.

I don’t know about the ribbon… we’ll have to see.

In any event, I’m happy to have the project done, off the table, and onto the wall!
